ORANGE COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION, LABOR & EMPLOYMENT SECTION MEETING

TOPIC:

Creative Options to Revive the Civil Jury Trial

Employment Law cases can be dramatic stories, but maybe the novel length presentation has now, of necessity, become a short story, or maybe just a synopsis. With shrinking resources, and therefore less trial time, employment lawyers must, either willingly or by necessity, relearn how to present their cases. This panel will take a hard look at the data, and explore how the civil jury trial, if not already dead, can be revived.
